*Disclosure- I received this kit as a Bookshark ambassador. All opinions are my own.*<\/em><\/p>\n

As a Homeschool Mom, Summer is tricky.\u00a0 I want my son to enjoy his vacation- but I don\u2019t want the learning to stop. During the school year we got into such a good groove, and I didn\u2019t want to stop that momentum. But, I also want the learning to be more laid back and fun- a little more hands on. That\u2019s where the Bookshark Hands on History Kit<\/a> comes in handy!<\/p>\n

\"hands<\/a><\/p>\n

The Kit<\/a> is a new addition as an add on to the Bookshark Curriculum<\/a> and goes hand in hand with your World Cultures studies. But, it\u2019s also a perfect Summertime activity for us. Because it\u2019s helping to remind us of all the things we learned this year in History, and making it fun and practical.<\/p>\n

\"inside<\/a><\/p>\n

The Kit<\/a> includes pretty much everything you need (you\u2019ll need scissors, pens, that sort of thing- but it\u2019s all outlined in the instruction book) to do 9 different educational, hands-on activities. The best part is that each activity is individually packaged<\/strong>. Great for on the go, and keeps the mess at a minimum. Which also helps your child be more independent in the building process.<\/p>\n

\"hands<\/a>Inside there\u2019s also an instruction booklet<\/a> that tells you how to do each activity, glue dots (and other things you\u2019ll need to build: craft glue, glue sticks, etc.), as well as each individually packaged activity. I love that the instruction booklet also includes a little bit of information about each project- turning it into a lesson in itself.<\/p>\n

\"straw<\/a>For example, with the Straw Weaving activity, you\u2019ll learn about Vikings. Which parallels what we learned at the beginning of the school year. We\u2019ve already tried out some of the activities and both my little guy and I have had a blast doing them together.<\/p>\n

\"getting<\/a>All of these activities<\/a> are really great if your children are strong readers, because they can read the instructions to you as you go- adding another level of learning to each activity.<\/p>\n

\"Instruction<\/a>My son\u2019s favorite so far has been the Inventions: Car kit<\/a>. Because boys and their cars, a match made in heaven! We had a lot of fun doing the steps, and I captured some of the process so you can see how simple and fun it can be.<\/p>\n

\"model<\/a>
The step by step instructions make it so easy, a kid can do it. (That\u2019s the point!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"template<\/a>
The kit even includes the templates you need for the projects.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
You will need to help with some cutting and tracing, but most of it your child can do on their own.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"finished<\/a>Your children will be so proud of themselves (so will you!) when they see what they\u2019ve built. It\u2019s such a great reminder for them (and you!) that learning can be lots of fun!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I can\u2019t wait to do the rest of the projects. He\u2019s even going to do some with Daddy (I\u2019m hoping the messy ones!) If you want to see everything that\u2019s included in the Hands on History Kit<\/a>, I did an IGTV video unboxing<\/a> of the whole thing.<\/p>\n

If you want to add on the kit to your curriculum this year, or use it as a Summer learning tool , they\u2019re available now- CLICK HERE<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to add it to your Homeschool Pinterest board if you want to save it for future use:<\/strong><\/p>\n
